You
have
probably
observed
that
your
baby-sister
wants
to
do
all
sorts
of
things
that
your
mother
and
her
nurse
want
her
not
to
do
--
to
stand
up
at
sitting-down
time
,
and
to
sit
down
at
stand-up
time
,
for
instance
,
or
to
wake
up
when
she
should
fall
asleep
,
or
to
crawl
on
the
floor
when
she
is
wearing
her
best
frock
,
and
so
on
,
and
perhaps
you
put
this
down
to
naughtiness
.
But
it
is
not
;
it
simply
means
that
she
is
doing
as
she
has
seen
the
fairies
do
;
she
begins
by
following
their
ways
,
and
it
takes
about
two
years
to
get
her
into
the
human
ways
.
Her
fits
of
passion
,
which
are
awful
to
behold
,
and
are
usually
called
teething
,
are
no
such
thing
;
they
are
her
natural
exasperation
,
because
we
do
n't
understand
her
,
though
she
is
talking
an
intelligible
language
.
She
is
talking
fairy
.
The
reason
mothers
and
nurses
know
what
her
remarks
mean
,
before
other
people
know
,
as
that
'
Guch
'
means
'
Give
it
to
me
at
once
,
'
while
'
Wa
'
is
'
Why
do
you
wear
such
a
funny
hat
?
'
is
because
,
mixing
so
much
with
babies
,
they
have
picked
up
a
little
of
the
fairy
language
.
122
Of
late
David
has
been
thinking
back
hard
about
the
fairy
tongue
,
with
his
hands
clutching
his
temples
,
and
he
has
remembered
a
number
of
their
phrases
which
I
shall
tell
you
some
day
if
I
do
n't
forget
.
He
had
heard
them
in
the
days
when
he
was
a
thrush
,
and
though
I
suggested
to
him
that
perhaps
it
is
really
bird
language
he
is
remembering
,
he
says
not
,
for
these
phrases
are
about
fun
and
adventures
,
and
the
birds
talked
of
nothing
but
nest-building
.
He
distinctly
remembers
that
the
birds
used
to
go
from
spot
to
spot
like
ladies
at
shop
windows
,
looking
at
the
different
nests
and
saying
,
'N
ot
my
colour
,
my
dear
,
'
and
'
How
would
that
do
with
a
soft
lining
?
'
and
'
But
will
it
wear
?
'
and
'
What
hideous
trimming
!
'
and
so
on
.
123
The
fairies
are
exquisite
dancers
,
and
that
is
why
one
of
the
first
things
the
baby
does
is
to
sign
to
you
to
dance
to
him
and
then
to
cry
when
you
do
it
.

They
hold
their
great
balls
in
the
open
air
,
in
what
is
called
a
fairy
ring
.
For
weeks
afterwards
you
can
see
the
ring
on
the
grass
.
It
is
not
there
when
they
begin
,
but
they
make
it
by
waltzing
round
and
round
.
Sometimes
you
will
find
mushrooms
inside
the
ring
,
and
these
are
fairy
chairs
that
the
servants
have
forgotten
to
clear
away
.
The
chairs
and
the
rings
are
the
only
tell-tale
marks
these
little
people
leave
behind
them
,
and
they
would
remove
even
these
were
they
not
so
fond
of
dancing
that
they
toe
it
till
the
very
moment
of
the
opening
of
the
gates
.
David
and
I
once
found
a
fairy
ring
quite
warm
.
125
But
there
is
also
a
way
of
finding
out
about
the
ball
before
it
takes
place
.
You
know
the
boards
which
tell
at
what
time
the
Gardens
are
to
close
to-day
.
Well
,
these
tricky
fairies
sometimes
slyly
change
the
board
on
a
ball
night
,
so
that
it
says
the
Gardens
are
to
close
at
six-thirty
,
for
instance
,
instead
of
at
seven
.
This
enables
them
to
get
begun
half
an
hour
earlier
.
126
If
on
such
a
night
we
could
remain
behind
in
the
Gardens
,
as
the
famous
Maimie
Mannering
did
,
we
might
see
delicious
sights
;
hundreds
of
lovely
fairies
hastening
to
the
ball
,
the
married
ones
wearing
their
wedding
rings
round
their
waists
;
the
gentlemen
,
all
in
uniform
,
holding
up
the
ladies
'
trains
,
and
linkmen
running
in
front
carrying
winter
cherries
,
which
are
the
fairy-lanterns
;
the
cloakroom
where
they
put
on
their
silver
slippers
and
get
a
ticket
for
their
wraps
;
the
flowers
streaming
up
from
the
Baby
Walk
to
look
on
,
and
always
welcome
because
they
can
lend
a
pin
;
the
supper-table
,
with
Queen
Mab
at
the
head
of
it
,
and
behind
her
chair
the
Lord
Chamberlain
,
who
carries
a
dandelion
on
which
he
blows
when
her
Majesty
wants
to
know
the
time
.
127
The
table-cloth
varies
according
to
the
seasons
,
and
in
May
it
is
made
of
chestnut
blossom
.

The
way
the
fairy
servants
do
is
this
:
The
men
,
scores
of
them
,
climb
up
the
trees
and
shake
the
branches
,
and
the
blossom
falls
like
snow
.
Then
the
lady
servants
sweep
it
together
by
whisking
their
skirts
until
it
is
exactly
like
a
tablecloth
,
and
that
is
how
they
get
their
tablecloth
.
129
They
have
real
glasses
and
real
wine
of
three
kinds
,
namely
,
blackthorn
wine
,
berberris
wine
,
and
cowslip
wine
,
and
the
Queen
pours
out
,
but
the
bottles
are
so
heavy
that
she
just
pretends
to
pour
out
.
There
is
bread-and-butter
to
begin
with
,
of
the
size
of
a
threepenny
bit
;
and
cakes
to
end
with
,
and
they
are
so
small
that
they
have
no
crumbs
.
The
fairies
sit
round
on
mushrooms
,
and
at
first
they
are
well-behaved
and
always
cough
off
the
table
,
and
so
on
,
but
after
a
bit
they
are
not
so
well-behaved
and
stick
their
fingers
into
the
butter
,
which
is
got
from
the
roots
of
old
trees
,
and
the
really
horrid
ones
crawl
over
the
tablecloth
chasing
sugar
or
other
delicacies
with
their
tongues
.
When
the
Queen
sees
them
doing
this
she
signs
to
the
servants
to
wash
up
and
put
away
,
and
then
everybody
adjourns
to
the
dance
,
the
Queen
walking
in
front
while
the
Lord
Chamberlain
walks
behind
her
,
carrying
two
little
pots
,
one
of
which
contains
the
juice
of
wallflower
and
the
other
the
juice
of
Solomon
's
seals
.
Wallflower
juice
is
good
for
reviving
dancers
who
fall
to
the
ground
in
a
fit
,
and
Solomon
's
seals
juice
is
for
bruises
.
They
bruise
very
easily
,
and
when
Peter
plays
faster
and
faster
they
foot
it
till
they
fall
down
in
fits
.
For
,
as
you
know
without
my
telling
you
,
Peter
Pan
is
the
fairies
'
orchestra
.
He
sits
in
the
middle
of
the
ring
,
and
they
would
never
dream
of
having
a
smart
dance
nowadays
without
him
.
'
P.
P.
'
is
written
on
the
corner
of
the
invitation-cards
sent
out
by
all
really
good
families
.
They
are
grateful
little
people
,
too
,
and
at
the
princesses
coming-of-age
ball
(
they
come
of
age
on
their
second
birthday
and
have
a
birthday
every
month
)
they
gave
him
the
wish
of
his
heart
.
130
The
way
it
was
done
was
this
.
The
Queen
ordered
him
to
kneel
,
and
then
said
that
for
playing
so
beautifully
she
would
give
him
the
wish
of
his
heart
.
Then
they
all
gathered
round
Peter
to
hear
what
was
the
wish
of
his
heart
,
but
for
a
long
time
he
hesitated
,
not
being
certain
what
it
was
himself
.
